Are You Ready to Fly? - Catie Curtis

Teenagers jumping off a railroad

They’ve known each other since they were kids

It’s the end of the summer, good friends ready to fly

They do the cannonball into the creek

They’ll do the cannonball one more week

At the end of the summer, good friends saying goodbye

They were riding double on bicycles

Buying bubble gum and vying for the sun

And the summer was so long 'til the summer was so gone

Your sister went to college in the fall

She took her posters off the bedroom wall

And your family drove all night from the university

And in the morning looking down the hall

She left her trophies and a couple of dolls

And your family would be alright 'cause you had to be

You were riding double on bicycles

Buying bubble gum and vying for the sun

And the summer was so long 'til the summer was so gone

On we go down crooked roads alone to who knows where

Burning in this moment like a sparkler in mid-air

When you are jumping off a railroad

No one can tell you what living is

At the end of the summer, are you ready to fly?

We were riding double on bicycles

Buying bubble gum and vying for the sun

And the summer was so long 'til the summer was so gone
